Merry Christmas!

The Library staff wish a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year to all staff and students of St. Pat's. May 2009 be good to you!

24-Hour Loans Extension

From Monday, December 15th all of our 24-hour loan items (including DVDs) will be issued until Monday, January 12th.

Human Rights Day Exhibition

"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights..."

Today is International Human Rights Day, 60 years to the day since the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. To mark the occasion, at the entrance to the main Library we have a display of the Declaration itself and a collection of our titles relating to some aspect of human rights. Our thanks to Brian Ruane for his help with the display.

Come up and have a look!

2008 Theses Now Available

Final theses of our most recent graduates from the Masters and Doctorate programmes are now available on 3-hour loan in the Library.

You can browse our full theses holdings by subject on our website here.
They can also be searched for by author or title on the Catalogue - simply select 'SPD Theses' in the Collections drop-down box.

Christmas Opening Hours

The Library closes for Christmas at 5.30pm on Friday, December 19th. We re-open on Monday, January 5th at 9am for normal opening hours.

Quiet Please!

As numbers increase in the Library in the lead-up to exams we remind all our users that talking is not permitted.

This is not for the benefit of Library staff but rather for that of your fellow Library users.

Thanks for your co-operation.

DVD Collection

You can now see our ever-expanding DVD collection listed alphabetically by title on our Website as well as through the Catalogue.

The discs are held behind the Issue Desk - simply make a note of the shelfmark of the one you want and give it to a member of staff.

Those watching DVDs on their laptops must use headphones when in the Library. Unfortunately popcorn is not permitted...
